The problem was that one of our artist didn't do the sprites so i had to do them (first time attempt and pretty crappy too), but the point of the game is to be hard as nails but not impossible.

You win or loose the game u get thrown back in the menu...a kind of silly cold joke."},{"author_name":"zkenshin","author_uid":"12839","time":"Aug 27, 2013 @ 3:47pm","epoch":1377618120,"text":"Enjoyable entry, nice audio (:"},{"author_name":"flamecow","author_uid":"27477","time":"Aug 27, 2013 @ 3:56pm","epoch":1377618660,"text":"Link doesn't seem to be working, can't play the game."},{"author_name":"Will Edwards","author_uid":"10313","time":"Aug 27, 2013 @ 3:58pm","epoch":1377618780,"text":"A fun little top-down flight; Very very fast scrolling.
